Healing with singing bowls

January 31, 2014

Wings of Dreams will present two workshops and an evening benefit concert and meditation Mar. 7 and 8 at the Harmony Healing Arts Center (211 East New Street, Shepherdstown) with Suren Shrestha of the Atma Buti School in Boulder, Colorado. Participants will experience the healing and relaxing benefits of Seven Metals (Himalayan) singing bowls.

Suren grew up in Nepal, where he learned about traditional Tibetan healing therapies and, since coming to the United States, he has been teaching them to others. He is the author and illustrator of "How to Heal with Singing Bowls." Suren is raising funds through his teaching to build an orphanage for the homeless children in his native village.

Laura Rau, owner of Wings of Dreams, has been working with Suren for several years, purchasing his singing bowls and Nepalese Fair Trade crafts, and experienced first-hand the amazing results of his healing techniques.
